Paying College Athletes

Dennis Patchin, Rick Lukens and Vince Grippi talked to EWU Athletic Director Bill Chaves about the Eagles Men’s and Women’s basketball teams, the possibility of the Big Sky Tournament finding a scheduled home, and paying college athletes. Bill is on the council trying to figure out the details of how this will play out.

Big Sky Champions

The Eastern Eagles secured at least a share of the Big Sky title, their third in row, with a 56-34 win at Portland St. Jabari Wilson had a career day rushing the ball, gaining 132 yards and scoring three touchdowns. Vernon Adams, Jr. passed for 309 yards and two scores. Cooper Kupp had 147 receiving yards and one touchdown. Shaq Hill returned a kickoff 90 yards for a TD. Tevin McDonald had a fumble recovery, a forced fumble and a 73 yard pick-6.

Eagles handle Wolves

The Eastern Washington Eagles had little trouble defeating the Walla Walla University Wolves, 82-44. Martin Seiferth had 24 points and 18 rebounds. The Eagle bench got a huge kick out of walk-on Nate Galgalo’s 3 pointer at the end of the game.

Rockets too much for Eagles

The Eastern Washington Eagles started their game against the Toledo Rockets on an offensive roll. QB Vernon Adams was 10-11 with 2 touchdown passes on the Eagles first two possessions, and Eastern led 14-6. From that point on, EWU was only able to muster one more touchdown and little else. The Rockets controlled the contest with their rushing game, and Toledo came out on top, 33-21. The Eagles fall to 2-1 on the season going into their bye week next week.
